contentment

"Contentment is a disposition of the heart that freely and joyfully submits to God's will, whatever that will may be." -- Stephen Altrogge, The Greener Grass Conspiracy

The secret of contentment is believing that, in every situation and circumstance, my heavenly Father is ultimately in control and is at work for my ultimate happiness and truest good – training me to be able to better know, love and trust Him and His will for my life, as I rely on his grace and His Word, through Christ, in the power of the Spirit. (Phil. 4:10-13; Deut. 8:2-9; Heb. 12:5-11; 2 Cor. 4:7-18; 12:7-10; Phil. 1:12-18)

About Rick Ianniello's Blog

This blog is not intending to be the answers to all of life's mysteries. I am a regular guy who reads things or occasionally has an original thought that I feel I must communicate. I found blogging to be a vehicle for that as well as a way to keep a repository of these thoughts/learnings.

If you get something out of it, great. If not, don't complain, you got what you paid for.
